Chapter 567: Chapter 563: Retaliation of the Two Great Powers

Zhou Qi’s heart tightened as he looked at Su Mei and asked, "Pavilion Master, are you really preparing to go to war?"

"When they’re bullying us to this point, if we continue to retreat, where will the face of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion lie? Ling Chen is right; the God Organization will never rest content. Since that’s the case, we might as well strike first."

"Pavilion Master, going to war with the God Organization is no small matter. Don’t you want to discuss it with the elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"

"There’s no need," Su Mei said indifferently. "I am the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master, my word is the command. Who dares to disobey? Elder Zhou, remember, I don’t need others to give me advice when I do things."

Feeling the cold frost in Su Mei’s gaze, Zhou Qi quickly bowed with clasped hands and respectfully responded, "Yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Pavilion Master, I will immediately relay the orders." Having said this, Zhou Qi turned and left the presidential suite.

After he departed, the graceful woman who had been standing by Su Mei’s side pulled out a continuously vibrating cell phone from her pocket, hurriedly answered the call, and passed it to Su Mei.

Su Mei’s furrowed brows slightly relaxed after hearing whatever was said on the phone; she replied with an "I know" and then hung up.

"Pavilion Master, what’s happened?"

"It’s Elder Qin. He’s finally sent a message," Su Mei let out a sigh of relief.

Elder Qin was the Heavenly List expert who had been secretly protecting her. Having heard no word from him for an entire week, she feared he had met with an accident. The importance of a Heavenly List expert goes without saying; even for Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, a Heavenly List expert is an invaluable asset. So, knowing the Heavenly List master was unharmed, Su Mei could finally relax.

"Pavilion Master, what exactly happened to Elder Qin? Why hasn’t there been any news for so long?"

"He was found by Ji Gang, and after a fierce battle, he was seriously injured by his opponent and nearly died. Luckily, he managed to escape and save his life. Due to the severity of his injuries, he had no time to contact us. He’s been hiding and healing in a safe place these days."

Hearing this, the graceful woman expressed her shock: "Is Ji Gang really that powerful?"

Su Mei nodded lightly and said, "Ji Gang was promoted to the Heavenly List more than thirty years ago, while Elder Qin has been in it for less than ten years, there’s definitely a gap. Within Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, probably only that one person can deal with Ji Gang."

"You’re talking about him?" The graceful woman immediately guessed who Su Mei was referring to.

Thinking of that one person, Su Mei couldn’t help but sigh and said, "Let’s not talk about this. As long as Elder Qin is fine, that’s good enough."

Now, only Ling Chen’s safety remained a concern.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Mei picked up the phone, scrolled through the contacts to find a number, and hesitated to dial out.

Forget it!

Sooner or later, she would have to face it.

With that thought, Su Mei directly dialed the number.

Beep... beep... After a while, the call connected, and a cool voice came through: "You’re looking for me for something?"

...

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was extremely efficient at handling affairs. Following Su Mei’s orders, in less than a day, the intelligence organization of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had dug out over ten secret strongholds of the God Organization spread across the country.

Overnight, all the strongholds had been subjected to devastating strikes.

"Pavilion Master."

Inside the presidential suite, Zhou Qi was reporting the results of last night’s battle.

"All thirteen secret locations of the God Organization have been destroyed. Thirty-four people were killed, forty-one captured. I have assigned Zhou Jun to take charge of the interrogation of those people to see if we can dig up more information."

"Very good." Su Mei nodded her head, affirming the actions taken.

"By the way! Pavilion Master, there’s another thing."

"Go ahead."

"Last night, during our operation, our people encountered another group. They had the same goal as us, to destroy the secret strongholds of the God Organization. However, those people were ruthless, not leaving a single survivor. I have notified the intelligence agency to investigate the origins of the other party."

"There’s no need to check. I know their identity. They are not our enemies, no need to worry."

Curious, Zhou Qi asked, "Then who are they...?"

"Secret Society," replied Su Mei.

She had called the porridge girl yesterday to explain Ling Chen’s situation. She was well aware of Ling Chen’s background and his relationship with the Secret Society. Now with Ling Chen’s whereabouts unknown and his life or death uncertain, the Secret Society would surely take action.

If Ling Chen were truly dead, the Secret Society would probably launch a frenzied retaliation.

Zhou Qi said in surprise, "The Secret Society has always been neutral. Why would they suddenly clash with the God Organization?"

"That’s not for you to worry about. Just do your part."

"Understood."

...

At this moment, on the calm sea surface, Ling Chen stood upright with concentration. However, in less than a second, his body immediately sank into the sea.

After splashing around a few times, Ling Chen emerged from the surface, and looking at Su He on the fishing boat, said with a distressed face, "Elder Su, I can’t do it."

"It’s not that you can’t do it; you haven’t grasped the correct method. I’ve told you, when you control your Inner Strength, you must cast aside all distractions, be calm and serene, and integrate yourself with everything around you. Imagine yourself as part of the sea, not thinking about how to stand on its surface."

Ling Chen gave a wry smile. After several days, he had failed countless times, having to soak in the icy seawater for at least a few hours every day. Even with his constitution, it was almost unbearable, and he had thought of giving up several times. Yet, when Su He became serious, he was even stricter than the strictest mentor, giving Ling Chen no chance to retreat and always forcing him to continue.

After listening to Su He’s guidance, Ling Chen had no choice but to climb back onto the boat and continue trying.

At this moment, he was unaware that due to his disappearance, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Secret Society, these two mysterious forces, had already launched a furious retaliation against the God Organization.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Chen cleared his mind of all distractions, stood at the bow of the boat with eyes slightly closed, feeling the cold sea breeze blow against him.

Integration!

Thinking of Su He’s teachings, Ling Chen let go of his reservations, felt the raging sea breeze around him, listened to the surging waves, and then visualized these scenes in his mind, immersing himself in them.

Gradually, he felt as if his body was light and airy, as if turning into a breeze, merging with the wind and drifting along with it.

At that moment, he seemed to forget the existence of his body, allowing his consciousness to soar.

After a moment passed, Ling Chen maintained steady breathing, quietly drawing up the Inner Strength from his Dantian, slowly channeling it through his body, finally gathering it in his legs.

As Inner Strength gradually concentrated, Ling Chen stepped confidently off the bow of the fishing boat onto the sea surface without hesitation.

The moment his feet touched the sea, his body suddenly sank down sharply.

Ling Chen had experienced this feeling many times before, and every time at this moment, he couldn’t help but panic, fearing he would sink into the water again.
